I am using a new to me ATN HD pro 5x20 and I’m shooting really short distances at night….. like 50-60’. I get it, I can’t move the reticle past a certain point so my current “zero”. Is like 3mil dots low. Is there anything I can do to actually zero this scope or is this the best I can do? If this is it…. I have an AGN 5x20 scope for sale or trade for a less powerful scope like 3x??? Thanks all for any info I can get.

Would love to see a picture of one with the original iron sights attached.

Work in progress.

Hello everyone,

unfortunately I don't speak English, so I use a translator for my messages, so please excuse me if some sentences seem incomprehensible.
I have a Vevor compressor which works well, but is very noisy !!!
I recently bought a GX-E-CS4 I compressor and since the beginning when it reaches +/- 100 bar, there is a little “clacking” however it continues to inflate without problem and rises to 300 bar (with the hose plugged in 32 seconds.
But I'm still worried about the clicking sound.
Do you have any idea what the problem might be?
I'll attach a short video sequence if I can!

Thanks to this great community.

Daniel.

A few months ago, I studied air rifles to death and ended up not buying one. The expenses associated with a good PCP compared to a 22 sub ammo round was a turn off for me. Since then, I've retired and my neighbor bought his own PCP for starlings. He shoots non-lead pellets in order to cut down on lead poisoning possibility of his chickens and other farm poultry. My rifle should be here in the first week of June. Has anyone messed with non-lead 22cal slugs? What did you learn? Thanks, and have a wonderful weekend.

Soon may not be able to control the population in any way!

I went to the range to sight in my new M4 with Sightron 10-50. Was so excited. I started at 50 yards and slowly dialed in. My final group was 3 within 1/2 inch. I was like great. Let’s move onto 100 yards.

I fire my first shot and it’s no hole near the target. I’m confused. I load a second and nothing near the target. When I load my fourth shot it catches and I realize the pellets are stuck in the barrel. Sigh.

I get home and use some metal chopsticks to start pushing them out. The initial pellet that got stuck was a few inches from exiting but it was really stuck. I ended up needing to drill the initial pellet out before I could get the others out.

I have a few questions. Did I damage the barrel drilling it out? I don’t see any visual damage.

Second, I was shooting zan .30. Has anyone had this happen where the pellets deformed enough to stick in the barrel? Is there anything I should check before using the pellets?

Thanks for your advice.

Hi All- after spending some to practice at the range with my custom built 1911 .45 acp, I wanted to figure out how to have a little trigger time in my back yard. Then I found this site. My wallet is lighter as a result lol.

Huben GK1 .25 with some goodies from Krazcool arrived a couple days ago. What a dream air gun.

Then, I decided to purchase a Zelos .25. I really wanted the fix impact but the huben made me slow down $$. My Hawke 3-9 50 objective and mount arrives tomorrow. The donnyfl moderator arrives next week. The Huben adapter and regulator arrives next week. I am still on the fence about what tank.

Appreciate any thoughts on what direction to go. Cheers.

Get paid to shoot tree and ground squirrels, yup! So, got this gig mowing cemeteries and they authorized me to shoot tree and ground squirrels while working. I need some pellet pistol advice/recommendations. Huben yeah, no. Too expensive. Or do I go .22LR pistol.

Picked up this 5mm Sheridan/Benjamin/ Crosman. 2002 model. Did a trigger job. Lube and basic exterior cleaning. It started out at 650fps with eight pumps. Using 11.42 grain H&N FTT. Accuracy was mediocre with occasional flyers. So, I went to do a deep clean on the barrel. Using Birchwood Casey ”honeycomb” patches (best patch I’ve ever used) Shooters Choice bore cleaner, then Never Dull cotton brass polish and finally Tryflo lubricant. Probably an hour and 60-70 patches later I finally got a smooth bore and a bench full of green, then black and finally clean patches. Now with eight pumps I’m getting over 700fps. 645 with six pumps. And no flyers. Spot on accuracy. This gun is nearly 25 years old. Doesn't appear to have ever been shot. The barrel had just gone green with tarnish. Very important to clean these brass barreled classics to keep the tarnish from becoming a power loss and accuracy issue. FWIW.

Went out for rats last night and was utterly skunked for various reasons and interruptions. Also it was cold and the rats being smarter than I stayed in… So, I went back out this afternoon about 4 pm to see what I might… It was a good session… Took a bunch of sparrows and two rats in this very crowded hoop house. As you can see by the very crowded conditions, judicious sending at all times…! I was surprised to see the rats as I wasn’t expecting them. Atomic XR, Zulus 5-20x atop, sending CPHPs. Furthest shots 30 yards, the little sub 17 FPE Atomic simply wrecks them at those ranges… The starling was my first kill exiting the truck…. This little gun is simply murder on these small vermin out to 50 yards…

I was under the assumption that a longer barrel yielded more FPS. I swapped out my .22 standard Vet barrel for a Vet long barrel which is 3.5” longer. I crono’d the standard barrel at 870 FPS with a 22 grain pellet. Then replaced the standard with a long barrel and shot the same pellet, at the same tune and it averaged 873 FPS. I figured that I would see the FPS increase more than 3 FPS. What am I missing here?

Does anyone happen to know of any airgun stores in Pennsylvania with a good inventory? Im located in central pa but will travel within reason. Google wasn't much help as I only found one store with a functioning website. I'm looking to handle some mid to high end pcp rifles prior to purchasing.

A man in a brown uniform just delivered this in time for the weekend…FX King in 22cal, brown GRS stock. I will be mounting the scope(Leupold)VX-3 HD 6.5-20 fine duplex) tonight and heading out to the range tomorrow. More pics to follow.

I have a whole pack of the 480's left. This arrived new in the box about 6 days ago and was only shot from the bench to film a demo video. As new, but I expertly cleaned the barrel with my Patchworm Shotgun insert before filming the video. I got alot of sludge out till that barrel was shining! Better than new! Front grip and scope are not included. Includes M-Lock Pick rail added under and about 25 Mr. Hollowpoint .58 rounds. Also has a fitted padded box, o-rings..included full warranty.

$1200 free shipping. You can PM me here or call or text me at 360-844-0962 Thanks -Nate

Ships well packed and double boxed.

Hello everyone. I hope you all are having a good day.
My local gun range just opened up some airguns range slots and I’m thinking of getting a membership at said range.
They do not have electrical hookups, so, I would have to fill my airguns via the battery on my truck.
TBH, I’m not crazy about doing that. I was looking at some 12 volt/100 mah rechargeable batteries from Amazon that are advertised as RV/trolling motor/etc. batteries.
Do you guys think a battery of this type would be able to power my compressor reliably?
I have a water cooled CS compressor if that helps.
Any ideas you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

*** SOLD ***

I bought this gun 'used' (actually NOS) from Airguns of Arizona in April of 2024. And it doesn't get shot much, so onto the selling block it goes.

I don't see any blemishes on the gun anywhere. The chrony data I have shows that it liked AA 16 gr pellets at full power (883 fps), but shot the Hades best (most accurate) when backed down 1 click on the transfer port (842 fps). I have done nothing to attempt to tune this gun since received from AoA.

This is a handy little package, at only ~34.5" OAL and with an unscoped weight of 7#2oz.

Comes with OEM magazine (BRK new style flip-open), OEM single shot tray, fill probe with male Foster, various spare o-rings, trigger adjustment hex wrenches and owner's paperwork.

$585 payable via PayPal Friends and Family, including CONUS shipping.

First 'I'll take it' PM wins.

Thanks,
Tom

Airgun Nation honors those who've made a sacrifice for this country. Many Manufacturers & Retails choose to celebrate our freedom by offering discounts around this holiday. Feel free to share all Memorial Day Sales within this thread. We will encourage our Sponsors to do the same!

When my sons were very young, they were taught to approach people in uniform and say "Thank you for your service". We have always respected those in uniform.

When I posted our Memorial weekend coupon, I was attempting to make a post that was solemn, and respectful. I had pictures that were of families at grave sites, mourning loved ones. I didn't want to post "HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY", when it is all about those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
John 15:13 states: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends".

One member respectfully pointed out that those pictures could cause those that lost loved ones pain. That was in no way my intention, and I am truly sorry if it caused anyone pain. I have removed the pictures. If I did, I never meant to hurt anyone.

I am not asking for forgiveness, as that is a gift from you to me. I am truly apologizing if I hurt anyone's feeling, which is from me to you.

I have two OG Taipan Vet Long .25's.
And it's time to sell one of them.

My best shooting buddy passed away in October, and I almost always shoot solo these days.

Typical trouble free, super accurate, quiet Taipan.
Superb trigger, anti-double-load.

Currently shooting 25.39gn at 935fps, no moderator needed: Backyard Friendly.

There are a couple pressure marks and a couple nicks in its black stock. Metal is perfect. Functionally perfect.
Price reflects this.
Scope and rings are not included.

$810. SOLD
Firm. takes it. shipped.

He appreciated the relationships he had on this forum and enjoyed sharing his shooting experiences. Thank you

If so, would it be easier to get parts from Kral or Benjamin?Also, what are the best resources for tuneups and mods? Properly here. Thank you Jesse

Gun: Benjamin marauder
Goal: thermal(night) optical (day) scope set up with over 10x max magnification.
Budget: Low

Can I use a magnifier with an LPVO to increase its total magnification or can I not get more than 8ish with any LPVO set up (optical only)

The current scope I’m leaning towards is the Athlon Talos BTR FFP 4-14x44mm. After doing research I’m worried this scopes bottom magnification is too high and will be too pixelated from the zoom.

Last, I’m just hoping for recommendations on good quality but budget clip ons that could pair well with the talos or something else if there’s other recommendations
